The Wi-Fi sniffing drones are here

Marketers have come up with a new way to track a given customer's movement: put a drone on them.

It's similar to what marketers already do in stores and malls, but by using mobile drones, Adnear is able to track users in new places where pre-installed sniffers can't reach. "With drones, it becomes so much easier," the director of marketing told the site.
